Possible solution to Einstein problems.

[Lil' Lavery]

Greg, I was talking about the end result (symptom) rather than the root cause. Perhaps it was foolish of me not to go into further detail on the issue, assuming people had actually read the report themselves. But I stand by the assertion I made in the other thread that any system where the best of the best teams can have a 12.5% failure rate at the end of their season is a system that has significant flaws.

Fair enough, but what I was specifically quoting (BornaE's 1st and 2nd suggestions) would not mitigate anything except an attack on the wifi networks. MAC filtering is not going to cause people to wire their robot better. Besides that, the report clearly outlines the need for more substantial documentation, and that's *always* a good thing.

I agree with much of what you are saying. It was highly disturbing to watch Einstein unfold. I watched three of the Division tournaments almost in their entirety and the energy and competition was phenomenal. It was quality IRST. Then a few hours later some of the same teams were involved in something entirely different. As the report shows, a number of factors were involved, and I expect measure will be taken to lessen the chances and severity of each of them. Additionally, items having nothing to do with Einstein were already being investigated and addressed, and due to the Einstein investigation, new items were discovered such as the SmartDashboard memory corruption.

I believe there are a number of other factors that contributed to the perception of what was taking place, but unfortunately my kids are wiggly and I don't have the time to write a coherent explanation. Maybe I'll get a chance later.

Enjoy them while they're wiggly.

They grow up much too fast.
